Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj on an old saddle, covered by a sheet worth four dirhams or less. Then he said: "O Allah, grant me a Hajj in which no showing off is intended nor reputation sought."
According to this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj on a she-camel with an old worn-out saddle, covered by a piece of cloth, the value of which was four dirhams or even less. Then he said: O Allah, I perform this Hajj only for Your sake, hoping that you would be pleased with me, not to show off or seek to be seen or heard by the people.
Explanation in Arabic
أفاد الحديث أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حجَّ على ناقة عليها سرج قديم بالي وفرش يساوي أربعة دراهم، أو أقل من هذا الثمن، ثم قال: اللهم هذه حَجَّة، لا أفعلها من أجل أن يراني الناس أو يسمعوني، إنما أفعلها خالصة لك، من أجل أن ترضى عني.
تواضع النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
ما كان عليه النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- من زهد في الدنيا وإعراض عن متاعها الزائل.
